The Unbound campaign offers some nice rewards to the supporters of Completely Staged. The book unseen inages and Simon Evans’ notes. Read more below:
A book featuring the scripts of Staged, the comedy series starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen, is set to be published.
Simon Evans and Phin Glynn, the creators of the format, have compiled Completely Staged, described as “the complete illustrated scripts of the lockdown hit TV show.”
It is set to be released via Unbound, the book-based crowdfunding platform. When 100% of the funding has been achieved, copies will be printed for those who backed the project.
The publishers say: “Unbound are delighted to present Completely Staged, the show’s official companion, containing the complete text of the screenplays from Staged’s writer and director, Simon Evans, and co-creator, Phin Glynn. With a foreword from writer and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, this handsome hardback is crammed with more than 100 images (many never seen before) – from photographs, screenshots and illustrations, to pages from the musical score and tips on how-to-draw-a-pineapple-David-Tennant-style – along with Simon Evans’s exclusive director’s notes. The book has been compiled and edited by Staged’s co-producer Victor Glynn and Sophie Goldsworthy.”
A sample page revealed on Unbound shows significant annotations:
The eBook can be obtained for £10, whilst a signed first edition of the 384 page hardback is priced at £35. Other rewards on offer include t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, a slipcase edition, posters, and the chance to attend an online acting masterclass run by Simon Evans. Full details can be seen via Unbound.
Staged, which also stars Georgia Tennant and Anna Lundberg, launched in June 2020 as a reaction to coronavirus lockdown. The eight-part second series followed in January 2021. The 14 episodes were released on DVD on Monday.
